Quick read but the story was all over the place. There is no cohesiveness to the narrative. It's like the author wanted to put all his knowledge about the konaseema geography, peoples and their cultures into single book. While there is nothing wrong with that, it would have been better if he choose a few characters and tied their stories together with his narrative. Instead the book is just a mish mash of several names and stories that are irrelevant to the central plot.
